teaching dog commands and biting everything

[mrbojangles]

i wish i could train my puppy to learn commands like sit, stand, stay, but i have no idea on how to do it. if anyone could give me a tutorial or something to guide me, it would be greatly appreciated.

also i noticed it always bites everything! it bites my rugs, blankets, towels, socks, pants, etc. when it bites, i yell "NO" and try to pull it out of its mouth. but then it just keeps going back and biting it.

please help me out here, thanks!

can I please ask you something? why do you refer to your dog as "it"?
does he/she at least have a name, or a gender? I think you should use he or she instead of "it"

as for your question. You can go to the dog training section of this message board and probably find some good stuff. What I did was I just goggled "puppy training", "Dog training", and "Potty Training" and read for hours! It's all I did for two days before we got our puppy.

There is alot of good readig out there, check it out

Puppy Training is a wonderful thing to enroll your puppy into. Then you and your family will learn how to train her/him. And then consistency is the key. Sit is easy, have a treat out, hold it over your puppy's head, and say Sit, when the puppy puts it's but down on the ground. and then lots of praise. But don't overwork your puppy, 10-15 minutes a training session. good luck!

I found this site helpful and they worked for me!

Also when you correct for biting things you don't want them to and take it away replace that unacceptable item with an acceptable one. Puppy bites your sock. Say "No" and give him their chew toy...
